If you're new to the city or taking the T in from out of town, this is where you can get advice from people living in The Hub. Please keep discussion limited to things in and around Boston.

Green Line Extension partially open

Post by Shirley Dulcey »

The first phase of the Green Line Extension is now in operation. The Science Park station has reopened, the new Lechmere station is now open (the old one is now closed and will eventually be torn down), and train service now continues to Union Square. The Union Square station is still under construction -- it currently uses a temporary entrance -- but it IS open. Buses to Lechmere now go to the new station.

The other branch of the GLX, with stops at East Somerville, Gilman Square, Magoun Square, Ball Square, and College Ave/Tufts has not yet opened. It is expected to open this summer, so it should be available for next year's convention.

There are no longer any trains that end their run at Lechmere. If you're going there or to Science Park, catch a Union Square train. In the future you will also be able to take a College Ave train.

Do you mind if I add to this?

The Green Line Extension from Union Square is the Green Line - E. For this year, you can take the E Line to Prudential Station from Union Square if you are traveling that way. However, this is temporary.

Once the other branch is open, the Union Square stop will be the Green Line - D Terminus. The Green Line - E Terminus will end at College Ave/Tufts.
